Madison — Gov. Scott Walker on Tuesday embraced a move to ban abortion after 20 weeks after repeatedly declining to spell out where he stood on the issue in last year's re-election campaign.

It is the latest example of Walker downplaying a major issue until after being re-elected and climbing to the top tier of likely 2016 presidential candidates. Walker did not campaign on plans to spin off the University of Wisconsin System as a public authority and now says he will sign so-called right-to-work legislation even though he insisted for years he would keep the measure from reaching his desk.

Wisconsin Right to Life has touted as its top priority legislation that has yet to be introduced that would prevent women from seeking abortions in most cases after 20 weeks.(131)

If Park Bank is liable for not spotting Sujata "Sue" Sachdeva's $34 million embezzlement from Koss Corp. and has to reimburse the company, Koss Chief Executive Michael Koss should also be ordered to personally pay the public company he runs, the bank argues in a new lawsuit.

Grant Thornton, Koss Corp.'s former auditor, should also have to pay a portion of any award that may be ordered, Park Bank argued in the latest twist in a long-running court fight stemming from Sachdeva's massive embezzlement.

"Park Bank denies any and all liability to Koss in this case," the bank said in its action. "Nevertheless, should Park Bank be found liable to Koss (Corp.) and required to pay damages to Koss, in this case, those damages will have been the result of a common liability of Park Bank, Michael Koss and Grant Thornton, thereby entitling Park Bank to (a) contribution from Michael Koss and Grant Thornton."(10)

because young starting cornerbacks with world class speed are a dime a dozen.

this is part of the dance for contracts, unbunch your panties and settle down. the closer that the agent gets to the free agency deadline, the more leverage Sam attains. He'll either be signed long-term or franchised (and then signed long-term).

They have to franchise him by monday at 4:00. It's either that or a contract by march 11. He may be fast but he is small and has had injuries. All the secrecy surrounding all our free agents keeps me reading and interested

Tough call. On one hand, given our defensive problems, sure don't want to see a good NFL CB go. On the other hand, sounds like his price might be too high for the Packers. Guessing he'll have some good offers out there. Experienced CB's are valued in today's NFL. Another defensive hole to fill.

There are LITERALLY 5 odd players IN THE WHOLE LEAGUE that can do what Shields does while the ball is in the air. THAT'S IT! Watch Shields play the ball AND his man. Watch Shield's adjust to the ball in the air. Watch Shield's KEEP HIS HANDS AND BODY FREE of his man while still covering him like a glove. Watch Shield's SPEED recover on a play he took the bait on. Watch Shields find the ball in the air WHILE NOT LOSING SPEED OR HIS MAN. Watch Shields BEAT HIS MAN TO THE BALL. Watch Shields get PHANTOM penalties for playing PERFECT COVERAGE (see the Seattle game from 2 years ago). Again, AT BEST 5 guys in the whole league can do what Shield's does.

I would not call that list of CB Free Agents robust. Shields immediately jumps to the head of that class. Can't blame Shields for looking for a better deal. Can't blame GB for offering what they thought was a fair deal.

You can sit back and watch as this team goes up in flames. Thompson is killing the best years of Rodgers careeer by surrounding him with trash and being cheap. We need an aggressive GM to take advantage of 12. Instead, we have dopey dog

Yup nutty Favreaholic (your dpsht name says all)... Giant's game was A FEW DAYS AFTER THE STUPID SON of a Packer coach though he could literally walk on water (sounds like Favreaholic). Packers are attending a funeral one day, the next they are trying to win a championship. Do you get it Favre "seed swallower"? Nope cuz your just sitting there tinkering with your Favre shrine.

Losing Shields would be a big mistake and hopefully it won't come to that. A young guy with his closing speed and ability to cover the top WRs in the game isn't something to sneeze at. And as another poster stated, it becomes another hole to fill on a defense that can't play consistently good football. Shields is one of the few players on that side that make the D even partly respectable.

He wasn't trolling, he was making a cogent argument. Saying that the Packers are sliding into irrelevancy (they're not) because TT is in over his head (he's not) is trolling. I'm not a blind Thompson follower (ONE Super Bowl appearance in NINE years, with the best QB in the game, ain't nothing to brag about), and I like Shields, but Shields is NOT the second coming. Let's see how it plays out.

It will be interesting to see what happens to Vontae Davis, Talib, and Verner. When one of those guys gets signed, it will tell you what the market is at the top. The question then becomes where does Shields value fall amongst the 2nd tier CBs.

I like Shields. He's young, he's fast, and he has great ball skills, and IMO he still has a very high upside. I really wish they could keep him. But with the cap where it is, and the desperate need league-wide at the position, my guess is that it will be out of the Packers price range.

While I would like to see Shields stay with the Packers, let's be realistic. It is his speed that allows him to be a good NFL cornerback. He gets beat often and it is ONLY his speed that allows him to recover. As he gets older, he will lose that speed. And if he gets any kind of leg injury, he will probably lose that speed and be MUCH less effective. I support Thompson in his refusal to overpay.

Wow...this one really shocks me. Instead of signing a young and proven shut down corner for probably a little more than they are comfortable with they will let Shields walk and out all the faith in what Hayward will be able to do when he comes back...what a joke. He has one year of solid play and most recently one year wasted on injury. And news flash, hamstring injuries this sever almost always rear their ugly head for years...see CM III. TT was willing to throw the ridiculously inflated (for their proven ability) extensions at Jones and our joke of a safety Burnett, and we won't pay for a good shutdown corner with not only proven results but a player whom has proven he is still getting better! It's not like letting Jennings go I which they have several people ready to step in!! This is a huge loss as you know damn well he will end up elsewhere.

Prepare to get flamed by the Thompson kool-aiders. They're the same group that would be on the Titantic and have Ted tell them all is well and they'd believe him and go down with the ship. Shields is one of the VERY FEW capable defenders they have. No big loss, Whatever. We have Jarret Bush
